    1. The curriculum will provide for a fundamental core of knowledge so that, minimally, upon graduation, each student will demonstrate an ability to read, write, evaluate, reason, and compute to ensure the development of the skills necessary for success in school and for preparation for life in the years beyond school.
    2. Adequate resources and strategies for enrichment and remediation will be provided for students in need of such assistance.
    3. In order to develop an appreciation of other cultures, opportunities for multicultural experiences are encouraged.
  2. The curriculum will promote, by precept and example, character-building, traditional American social values, good citizenship, honesty, and love of country.
  3. The curriculum will incorporate evidence-based instructional strategies to address the needs of an increasingly diverse and transient population.
  4. The School Board will have access to and be informed of curriculum and assessment updates and revisions (e.g., revisions or enhancements, additional digital and non-digital resources)
  5. The School Board will approve major changes to the curriculum (e.g., textbook adoptions or a full rewrite of a curriculum).
